Edit: Sony shut down 2 more studios, including the one that made Concord. So if the reported numbers are true, Concord may have been the biggest flop in media history. Bigger than any other video game or any movie. Half a billion dollars down the drain.
Assassins Creed games will always do well, even the crappy ones have a really big following. AC Mirage was a big hit, so there's high confidence. The big reason this latest one got delayed, and it was understood, that they are re writing the dialogue due to new information on the supposed black samurai (did not really exist, source material is all from one person who made it up).

$5m/day on warzone cosmetics? that's wild man

i have a series x and was thinking of setting a ps5 but held back b/c i didn't think there'd be enough titles for me to want.

i don't think i'll be getting a next gen system. feels like i'm better off just getting a gaming PC for my next upgrade.

i also heard about that black samurai thing being made up by 1 guy, really weird.

I’ve tossed em $60-$80 for dem skins

I’ve been in and out on CoD over the years but I’ll give Activision credit for Warzone, for a free game, it’s definitely taken the top online FPS title for me, I played a tonne of CS etc. but playing with 2-3 friends on Warzone is a pretty great gaming experience. Before a couple of my buddies had kids we could play for 8+ hours on weekends straight and not really get tired of it

I don't play enough to justify upgrading, I'd think about it if my current PS5 crapped out I guess. If you play everyday then at least you'd be getting your money's worth out of it, it sounds like a decent upgrade.

I'm getting as PS5 Pro, because I kinda have to at this point.

I brought my PS5 down to Texas here while staying for the next 3 months, Gamestop had a great trade in deal, they gave me $300 USD cash for my PS5, which is more than what it even sells for privately in Canada.

So I essentially need a new PS at this point, the Pro it is.

As for GLOW's comment about media and games nowadays, I think we're just seeing the afterblast of our educational institutions and culture being reflected on modern writing. The old dudes that wrote the stories and screenplays for movies and games we reminisce over are all retired or gone. We're now seeing the writing styles and ideas of the newer generation, and unfortunately it's crap, it's no coincidence all these "agenda" minded games are receiving damning reviews and negative public perception.

I think it'll take time for all this crap to wash out, but it will eventually IMHO.

Are you saying it's too woke or do you mean something else?

It's too "woke" -- I hate using that word for this subject by the way, because it's wrong, the word woke has been co-opted from its original meaning, which bugs the shit out of me.

There's too much in film and games nowadays where it's pretty clear an ideology is being written into the overall framework. I'm not a tinfoil hat where I think it's some overarching "agenda", and I'm all for representation, but when it's heavy handed it becomes quite obvious.

When you have the added gay and/or lesbian couple, trans person, diversity character of every main cultural origin all written into a story narrative, it comes off as fake, and non-immersive.
